I see a lot of mention of Autocrossing mentioned on the US forums and suspect it may mean something different to what we consider AutoCrossing over here in Euroland.

Please correct me if I'm wrong here but I can't imagine the S being used for the type of Autocrossing that I'm thinking of :-

Here in the states, what you would call Autocross we call Rallycross.... Here is what we refer to as autocross

ya over here it means a big parking lot with lots of cones... small track tight corners.

 

Ahhh or as we call it in Euroland Auto Testing

Thanks chaps, I was really struggling to imagine an S being used for RallyCross

 

That looks more like gymkhana.

 

^^^ Yeah, we dont do all the crazy spinning and going backwards through gates and stuff... its strickly a short course set out that you get through as fast as you can. Think of it like a time trial but in a parking lot full of cones, where top speeds generally dont get much over 60MPH (about 100Km/h).

Well, not on purpose....

 

Yep, SCCA Solo2 racing to me.

 

^^ Corrected for you.
